Ingredients
- 3 clove garlic
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ lemon juiced
- 2 egg yolks
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp quality truffle oil
Instructions
- Roughly chop garlic clove onto a cutting board or into a molcajete. Add salt.
- Use the back of a spoon or a tejolote to crush the garlic and salt together into a paste.
- Transfer to a small bowl.

- Whisk everything together.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously.
- Do the same with the truffle oil.
